Sure.

I look for more details today on the Batteries Plus Bulbs website.
I learned the 5 batteries listed as replacements for my UPS all have .187"
Faston tabs.
Four of them are rated at 7A/Hr, the other one is 8A/Hr.
The local store has all five batteries in stock, I'll buy the 8A/Hr battery.
Thanks for suggesting I get the "Biggest they make".

I have forgotten all about MCM Electronics, I think I've seen advertisements
from that company in Popular Electronics.
But I could be wrong.  I have been b4.
